Christmas Orders!

Putting the last touches to a few christmas orders before my NYC trip on Wednesday! Here's a little peek at some cards heading across the sea this week! Apologies for lack of editing on these shots....as you can imagine I'm rushing to get orders compelted! (but of course.....not comprimising on quality! :) )

Also, on a separate note, I was due to launch my Christmas giveaway on Friday but due to unforseen circumstances I was unable to....however I will be posting information on the event early tomorrow instead! Apologies for the delay LuckyRainbowers!!! :)

Christmas Custom Orders

I've been a busy little bee this week, working away on a number of Christmas custom orders. Below is a sneek peek of an order making its way over to London to Laurie, a good friend of mine!

The traditional colours of red, red and more red dominate some of my mini creations, however I'm loving the cream, tan and purple hues of some paper I recently picked up! While still feeling all Christmas and winter like, they don't elude to the obvious!

I also love to add texture and a sense of the 3D to my cards....gone are the days of flat 2D cards, and my aim is always to create something that you would keep and treasure! A momento to cherish!

I get asked alot, "How long does it take you to make a card?"...and the honest answer is, "it varies!"....there are times when I can stare at a stash of paper and get no inspiration what so ever. In the case, I usually get up, walk away and make some tea. Then there are times, when I get create pretty card, after pretty card...however the most painful part of the process is that I tend to crouch over my desk and in turn end up with a sore back (which I have right now!)

Hope these cards are getting you in the festive mood...only 30 shopping days left until Christmas Day! You can order from LuckyRainbowDesigns up to December 15th!

LuckyRainbow Orders....Where's mine?

To keep myself sane and organised I've created a calander which clearly marks when I am making each order recevied to date. As you can see its a tad hectic and you have to remember on top of all this I have a full time job and I've commenced a part time MA this year! I just love putting pressure on myself!! ha ha!

The bonus of this calender is that you the customer can see where you order is, and when you can expect to recieve it! it also keeps me on my toes and up to date with my work! There is also some room available for more orders if you're thinking of contacting me, and I wanted to let you know that from November 20th - 28th I will be off work to concentrate on everything Etsy for the festive season!


If you require some special Christmas cards, visit the LuckyRainbow Etsy shop (http://www.etsy.com/shop/LuckyRainbowDesigns) or alternatively you can email me by contacting luckyrainbowdesigns@gmail.com

Nestahome - Love, love, love cushions! Thats all!

ScarlettBeautiful2 - I've always hearted the idea of NY and even more so the idea of travelling there! i'm defo buying one of those touristy I heart NY T-shirts!!

The Postage Service - When I was about 10, I collected stamps - Yes I was that cool! I had dreams of coming across a penny black and becoming a millionaire!!

SimpleShapes - I also had notions of living in an NYC loft apartment. I didn't want a house, a mansion or a bungalow - just a modern loft apartment with a skyline view....I still kinda want that!
